I have an idea, that is not necessarily a power, but a new metric. I do something called reputation or REP. How this works is if the citizenry has heard of you as a hero. Here is how it works. At level 2+ you gain 7% per level. At level 1 they have 0% and level 15 has 98%. I give this to all the Her...

Hi, just my 2 cents. Draw the weapon up then sit down with your GM. Explain to Him/Her/Them your ideas and work on it together. Once finished, let your GM work it into the story then Yosemite Sam it up. Heck maybe you can shoot so much and often you can attain a small degree of Flight: Hover with it...

Okay, so what three classes? Can you elaborate? I am making an NPC contact and I like to have them stated out on sheets in my NPC book.

Hey folks. Not going to feed the half-race monster. I have an actual Secrets of Atlantis question. Under the section about tattoo magic it says that a Clan Elder or an Alchemists can put tattoos on a member of their clan. So is Alchemists a playable OCC anywhere? Also I got into a debate with a frie...

Would it not be more logical to have all the skills represented in the d20 format? Example: If Prowl starts at say 45% that's a +9. Also as each level adds +5% so then that would be +1. So instead of this: Prowl: 45% Then you'd have ... Prowl +9 Then all the skill could be direct combat rolls and pe...

jlm2924

Well the rule in nightbane says to take the percentile and divide by 15 and then rounddown. This will give you your + for the d20 roll.

My Combo is APS: Ragdoll and Shrink. Shrink only works when APS is turned on and the character turns to a 12" Doll of Terror! Combine that with Jekyll & Hyde, the doll can be Mr. Hyde all evil and creepy! Then add Instant Wardrobe, so the original Character's clothes go into 'Storage' and a...

Hello. You are correct, you only get an initiative bonus from your PP if its say 33, 36, 39 ... and depending on the book you look in it can be 34...38...42...45. PP Maxes at 45. MOST heroes won't even come close to that and if they do it's still a bit difficult. Some HTH's like in Rifter #7 or Ninj...

jlm2924

Let me add my 2 cents. According to the descriptors under PS once you hit 24, the carry/lift is x50/x100. Also the Maximum strength for a human is 40 (not counting cybernetics, extraordinary PS, superhuman PS, or Supernatural PS). So if you applied +30% at 35, then you would apply it one more time a...

jlm2924

Hahaha! yes! Except I STILL have a functional Commodore 64! It's fun to hook it up to the LCD TV and run my old games on it.

jlm2924

That is true. I know that if a player tried that in one of the games I GM, I'd be like ... "No, the computers here are less thinky and harder for you to use because of a lack of understanding of them." Look at it from this angle: How many of you still know how to use full DOS? Still I'd al...

In HU2 there is an alien education table. My Alien character got the one where I got a certain skill program and then I got 2 skills from a ton of categories, then something like 4 secondary's. I have half a sheet of skills as a result, even more fun poor Z'elle she doesn't know anything about Earth...

jlm2924

Sure and in some cities police and other emergency services have the ability to remotely change the lights. Even if not (like the city you play in might have light sensors instead), the sensor pad still sends a signal to the relay that changes the light. Ergo, our superhero can affect it. The sensor...

Thought I'd chime in again on the "liquefying the core" idea. Game science, do what you want. Real science, the issue is not necessarily reheating the core and liquefying it. The issue is to get what's there to spin faster and make a larger magnetic field. That's the real problem. Once you...

This is a good point. So allow me to amend... Universal Remote Control (Minor) "I hate red lights! Ha, now they're green!" Range: 600 ft. plus 10 feet per level beyond level 1 Target: Any system that can normally be targeted by a remote control, i.e. Streetlights, TV's, RC cars/boats/plane...

jlm2924

I disagree. If it had the ability to say jam normal radio signals or intercept data psionically (like a remote Telemechanics) then yes, it would be a major. There are some pretty amazing minor powers out there, like Indestructible Bones or Extraordinary Speed . Just saying, let's see what some of th...

jlm2924

Exactly. Under the use of Multiple Dodge it states that each time you dodge it uses (1) attack action. This makes sense because a character is only so fast in a melee round (15 seconds). As for gun fire, remember in nearly all cases it is a raw unmodified dice roll to defense (no bonuses). So in the...

jlm2924

LOL, as I said it was ridiculous. I put it here for a few laughs. Back in 1984 I was 14 and that was "ok" to have but now at 45 in 2016 there is NO WAY I'd allow anything like that in any of my games. Still it shows the evolution of gamers and how we used to think compared to what's out th...

jlm2924

Hey everyone. This was a power we came up with in 1984 when HU first came out. We all used to make way over powered heroes and villains to boot. This power was ridiculous, but I thought I’d post it here for nostalgia purposes and a few laughs! Enjoy. Beer, Meat, Dead!!! (Major) ”That’s it! Feel the ...

jlm2924

Drawbacks?! Really? Is there a source or a post that lists them? I'd really like to look at that. Are the drawbacks (asides from the Achilles Heel for Mega Heroes) a house rule thing?

jlm2924

Maximum Potential (Major) by JLM2924 The character’s entire being operates at the maximum potential for anything he/she does. All SDC bonus rolls are at their maximum, all hit point rolls are maximum and any bonuses from other powers or skills are at the maximum. Any damage rolls are at the maximum...

HU2 already has Night Vision (minor) and Infrared/Ultraviolet Vision (minor). Both of these are types of night vision that can see in the dark. But if you feel you need it for a specific purpose ask you GM.

jlm2924

Hey all, just my 2 cents here. Anyone remember the Movie 'The Mystery Men?' Some of these abilities seem very Mystery Menish. While I can see the use of some of these powers, like if you made Coin Man/Woman, others seem to have a specific use. I personally believe that a Hero (properly made) can be ...

Sure, I can see that. But there is one final little issue. As it stands now Mars has a 95% CO2 Atmosphere. So lets say for fun you "transplant" some atmosphere from an Earth like world (I wouldn't do it from Earth) and you move some of the atmosphere to Mars (now why you wouldn't want to s...

jlm2924

I like it. Why not?! The overall point is that if he is going to do a campaign where the PCs are trying to assist in Terraforming Mars, then try to keep the 'science fiction' somewhat believable. Anyone watch Star Trek Voyager? There are tons of ways they could have been home in 1 day. Example: When...

jlm2924

I think I see where you are going with this. When an object enters say Earth's atmosphere, because we have such a thick atmosphere (1013mbar as I had mentioned) this does create friction and as such creates resistance and heat. So asteroid/comet/satellite/space station falls to Earth, it catches fir...

jlm2924

Okay, for just a moment let's be realistic about the science here: First: Mars has an atmosphere that is only 6mbar thick. To give you a contrast compared to Earth's 1013mbar atmosphere. That's all the current magnetic field can hold. Next: The means surface temperature of Mars is -67 degrees F. Tha...

I do appreciate all the input you good folks have provided. What we play is Heroes Unlimited and I allow for Martial Arts from Rifter 7 or Ninjas and Superspies. One of my players has Multiple Dodge and as the "Rules" on Auto Dodge are a little confusing, first action and all?, I tend to h...

Let's first look at the rules: Reference Heroes Unlimited Pg. 15, Attributes beyond 30 . The rule says: I.Q., M.E., M.A. and P.B. are normally maxed out at 30 for mortals. Bonuses do not increase should the character have a number higher than 30; the one exception might be a god and aliens (which ar...

Greetings fellow Heroes Unlimited Gamers! Today I would like to ask you good people on some clarifications Regarding Multiple Dodge . Okay so from Ninjas & Superspies it says: Multiple Dodge is the ability to Dodge all incoming attacks, no matter where they're coming from. In other words, it's e...

What's the SDC damage of a Nuclear bomb, and would it affect an Invulnerable character?

jlm2924

Greetings: I have a (perhaps) a quick question. I have been running a HU2 campaign with a side Mutants campaign (simultaneously). I have players that have, Extraordinary P.S., Superhuman P.S., Supernatural P.S. and Cosmic P.S.. Now I already know the carry/max lift limits. Where I am fuzzy is the da...
